MY RATING:

BACK COVER BLURB: Gigi, Bea, and Neerja are best friends and total overachievers. Even if they aren't the most popular girls in school, they aren't too worried. They know their real lives will begin once they get to their Ivy League colleges. But when an unexpected event shows them they're missing out on the full high school experience, they decide to make a pact: They will each take on their greatest challenge -- and they will totally rock it.

Gigi decides to run for student rep, but she'll have to get over her fear of public speaking -- and go head-to-head with gorgeous California Will. Bea used to be one of the best skiers around, until she was derailed. It could be time for her to take the plunge again. And Neerja loves the drama club but has always stayed behind the scenes -- until now.

These friends are determined to show that smart girls get what they want -- but that could mean getting way more attention than they ever bargained for....

OVERALL IMPRESSION: This was just a really quick, fun read. It's a good "in-between" book to kind of cleanse your palate between reading two more intense books. The whole book was a cute, feel-good book. I enjoyed reading this one and I think that most people would also feel the same.

CHARACTERS: All of the characters in this book were the type of people that you would find in any high school. I don't want to go into much detail about any of the characters because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

COVER: The cover is cute. I love the font used for the title.
